Proverbs 28:22

Proverbs 28:22  He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. Is it wrong to be rich? Of course not! But how did a person become rich? Did they earn their money? Or did they cheat and steal in order to get their money?And what do they do with their money? Do they just pile up their money just to have more money? Or do they use their money to do good things for others? In our verse if someone is in a hurry to get rich, they are getting money in the wrong way. If someone has and evil eye - they want more and more money - they are wicked. Someone who has a wicked desire for more and more money doesn't realize that if they cheat and steal, they will not be building friendships - they will be building enemies in business. And soon they themselves will be victims of cheating and stealing and their money will be gone. They will be poor because their goal is money and not helping others along the way. If a rich man can provide jobs for his employees, everyone is happy. If the rich man robs from his employees, everyone knows it and no one is happy. God blesses men who obey His Bible principles: do unto others as you would have others do unto you. What is that motto called? The Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is a good principle to live by. Can you say it from memory? Go ahead and try.
